Your bows are consistent, balanced, and beautifully crafted, Chris.  I learn a lot by just looking at them.

Love this bow. Like the look of the snakeskins on the yew. Did you stain the back to get the colours to show like that?

No stain Richard. The skins had all the color. Ive used a lot of rat snake skins, I love them. They seem to vary quite a bit from state to state.

Hey thanks Nate! The last few years and few hundred bows things really started adding up and making sense to me. I was still green when I first ticked you off! Sorry for that by the way. Ignorance lead the way on that!

Haha, I don't even remember what ticked me off but it's clear that when I left we were both learners, and now you are the master. (Vader voice)

It was about me thinking the core grain didn't matter on a backed bow if the backing was good, WRONG!

Master? Heck no, Ive got miles and miles to go.
